quiet performances Of the business in

pnbliean meeting Of . few nights be-
forr; the disposition Of that business
without any eloquence or expression Of
opinion. has all resulted in q pause. The
Republicans whe do net sympafhizs
With those Who are aQitatinR coalition
have about made up their minds 10 wait
and watch and say nothing. The Demo
Gratis have held that notion from the
hrst and said little.
Alexander Parker, Chairman ct the
Democratic meeting Of Monday night,
announced bis committee Of ten today,
- follows:
THR pKAEocRArIc COMMITTEE
John P. Judson, T. T. Odds J. @.
Wethered, II. Kaufman. VIM. Watson,
O. p. Mastersou, Stewart Rice. b.
Roedieeg. John P. Parker, John FulleR.
These are our prominent citizens, and
known 10 be Democrats. Il was sup.
posed that the committee would be
made of the most conservative men of
the party. bat several Of these named
are Democrats Of the most pronounced
stripe. Mr.. Kaufman, for instance, IL
i suoh q one, and IN conversation he said
/ to the Posi- -INrKLLI0KNcKR man yestsr-
day: 81 do not know that / viii serve
On the COMMITTEES / have besn 9 life
long Democrat, and | cannot see hev /
can fuse with the Republicans. /
would fad IL much easier 10 Join with
the Peoples party, a. have something
Of leaning that way, but ! have been
opposed 10 the Republicans ell my life,
yoa see. II serve on the committee !
will insist that the Democrats shall
have the Mayor, the City Attorney, the
City Treasurer and the Street Commits
| sioneP. | think We are entitled 10 this
for the following reason: IL was the
Democratic or Peoples party Of this
Washington. We gave him 1900 more
votes than be got before, and in that Is
an indication OF the
STRENGTH OF THE DEMOCRACY
Here. You can't expect q fellow 10
become Republican 10 bis old days who
has always lived Democrat. Besides
don't believe there will be much come
Of these committees Of opposing poll
tics anyhow. l think the whole thing
will result in the calling of Peoples
convention and the public nomination
Of Peoples ticket"
Others Of the Democratic Committee
who we're seen daring the day expressed
the thought that as the Republicans
bad met in conference and thought il
practicable to lay aside politics on this
occasion and the democrats had done
exactly the same thing. that il vas only
the proper aud courteous thing to wait |
and see what the Peoples party will do
at thsir meeting to be held in q few
days. They may be in q like mood"
said one, and IL so, Why not meet al |
together and center upon candidates |
suitable to ALL" The
PROBABILITIES
Are, therefore, that nothing will be done !
fer q week or ten days anyhow.
''It is well enough to consider fusion, |
perhaps" said William Cromwell. Pres |
ident of the Lincoln Club. ut is we'll |
enough to consider il, but as for me |
went into one fusion and g1t enough |
Of il then and want ne more. |
We want somebody TO be responsible |
Tor the ROVernmSut.
They have been talking on all sides"
said Councilman d. b. Hannah to the |
PosT- ISTRLLIaKNoER man, "abeut the |
necessity of good men in the city offices,
a strong municipal government and all |
that, but nobody says what the present |
officers have done that is so awful bad"
WHAT Is TIE MATTER NOW.
IL think we have a pretty good set of
officers Row," he continued. There is /
old John Murray as City Treasurer. |
What has he done wrongl There 10 |
City Clerk Meade. What is the matter |
with him7 We have an efficient Chief |
Of Police, and know there are several
COED men in the Council. We can't get |
better man, for instance, than George |
D. Kelly. Bacon is q good man. The |
fact IL simply this: We were all good |
enough until We came to Ninth street. |
We pushed along the street improve
ments everywhere and the papers here
applauded it all as thoHRh We were |
doing the right thing until, as say, We |
came to Ninth street and touched q. b. |
Wright's pocket and then there vas |
nothing too mean to say about as. We |
haven'I been a good Council since thea. |
You can Just give that to the public and |
A FIZZLK.
The public meeting called by the
Chamber Of Commerce to discuss the
Inter State Commerce Law With view
Of having the Commission soften parts
in its application to the Western Ceast,
vas fzzle. About q half dozen people
dropped into the opera house, and after
waiting some time came away laughing.
There were not enough people present
to warrant calling the meeting to order,
RAPID TRANSIT.
Charley Cromwell, q brother Of Will
liam Cromwell Of the Western Union
Telegraph office Of this city, accepted
position in the dispatcheE'a Office Of the
Puget Sound Railroad at Seattle, ten
dersd him at the announced resignation
OF the young maa filing il. When Mr..
Cromwell went to Seattle be found that
the incumbent OF the position be came
to ill had changed his mind and the
place vas not vacant. He had hardly
left the wharf at Tacoma when the
ticker in the Western UAion called mp
William Cromwell, and the latter's ear
turning to the instrument, 10 said: IL
have a good paying position for Char
ley. Send him cP 10 the front" The
latter switched the instrument and
called up Charley at Seattle and told
him 10 come right back and ind his pass
and instrnctisns at the wharf. Charley
left the station here yesterday for the
front.
